Seeing that Sun Danian was so unmotivated, Lin Chuan didn't want to waste any more time with him.
Opportunities are given by others, and they must be grasped by oneself. If he does not grasp them himself, what can others do?
But Sun Danian is very content with the status quo.
Now I can earn dozens of yuan every day. After these projects are completed, I can earn 1,800 yuan.
That's already pretty good.
After eating, she returned to the office and Xi Xiaolei pushed the door open and entered.
"Mr. Lin, I received news that the old cinema in the city center is for sale. It seems that many people want to buy it. I don't understand the reason!"
However, Lin Chuan frowned slightly after hearing the news.
"Where did you hear this news?"
"One of my classmates is an art artist in a cinema, and he told me about it!"
The credibility of this news is really not very high.
In this era, the movie theater business is extremely booming.
The venue was almost full and every seat was packed.
After all, there is no major form of entertainment in this era. Watching movies is an entertainment activity that everyone is very popular and obsessed with.
Especially Huishi Cinema, as the first cinema to appear in Huishi, has always been very popular with everyone.
How could it be possible to just sell it?
But if you really want to sell it, the location will be very valuable.
Then he has to consider buying the movie theater.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan said slowly: "The main reason is that the location of the cinema is good, in the city center, and there are shopping malls and bus terminals around it. It is only two stops away from the textile wholesale market.
It will definitely be the location of a landmark building in the future, and of course it will be popular!”
Xi Xiaolei nodded slightly, then smiled sweetly and said, "Then do you also want to take it down?"
"I think about it, but I think it is unlikely that the cinema will be sold easily. Even if it is sold, there must be some reason, and the cinema belongs to the management department.
Before you figure out what the management department is thinking, let’s wait and see what’s going on!”
Xi Xiaolei then said: "I heard from my classmates that the cinema seems to have been operating at a loss, so the management department wants to sell it and put it under private management!"
Operating at a loss?
These words made even Lin Chuan feel ridiculous.
Movie theaters have indeed had a hard time.
But that was also after the popularity of video recorders and DVD players.
But that was more than ten years later. How could it be operating at a loss now?
So Lin Chuan planned to go to the cinema to watch it by himself.
In the evening, Lin Chuan and Qin Mengying came to the cinema.
Of course, Wu Lei and several other bodyguards were always not far away to provide safety protection.
As long as it is in front of the cinema, it is always very lively.
The scene of buying soda popsicles, peanuts, melon seeds, tea eggs, and various snacks is lively and bustling.
Qin Mengying held Lin Chuan's arm, like a girl in love, and smiled softly: "Do you still remember the first movie we went to watch?"
Lin Chuan laughed and said, "Why don't you remember? It's called Xiyingmen. It's a comedy. We watched it at a small theater in the town. I still remember that I was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket that day!"
Qin Mengying's heart felt even sweeter when she said that, and she held Lin Chuan's hand even tighter.
Lin Chuan continued: "I remember that I bought you two pieces of candy, but you were reluctant to eat them and had to save them for the Chinese New Year. I will buy you whatever you want to eat today, and I will also take you to the Eight Scenic Spots.
Come watch a movie at the cinema!”
Memories flooded into their hearts bit by bit.
Although I was poor at that time, I still had happiness and romance with poverty.
Even two pieces of candy are so nostalgic.
The two bought soda and some spiced peanuts to eat while watching a movie.
Lin Chuan went to the ticket booth again and bought two movie tickets for 60 cents.
When she came to the female ticket collector, she wanted to take the movie ticket. A bearded man with a sinewy face standing opposite coughed arrogantly.
The female ticket collector was so frightened that she was stunned for a moment, with fear and disgust in her eyes.
But she still retracted her hand and signaled Lin Chuan to give him the ticket.
Lin Chuan is a little strange.
This female ticket inspector was holding a flashlight, wearing a uniform, and a work ID. At first glance, she was a cinema staff member.
On the contrary, it's the guy opposite.
With a sinister look on his face, a cigarette in his mouth, bell-bottom pants, pointed leather shoes, and an open white shirt, he was the standard gangster attire of this era.
So Lin Chuan smiled strangely: "Comrade, didn't you check the ticket? Why did you give it to him?"
The female ticket inspector obviously didn't have the courage to speak. She just kept a cold face and remained silent.
The man, on the other hand, gave Lin Chuan a cold look and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm also the ticket collector here. If you want to watch a movie, just give me your ticket. If you don't want to watch it, just get out!"
He curses people when he opens his mouth, and his face looks like he needs to be beaten.
Even Qin Mengying glared at him with disgust.
Lin Chuan, on the other hand, chuckled and said, "Of course it's to watch a movie. It's just the tickets, right here!"
The man grabbed the tickets in his hand very arrogantly and pressed them neatly on a pile of tickets.
He also said very rudely: "After you give the ticket, hurry up and go see it. Don't block the way here. Remember your seat number and don't sit around!"
In response, Lin Chuan just smiled and pulled Qin Mengying into the cinema.
As they walked, Qin Mengying said with disgust: "That person looks like a gangster at first glance, so annoying!"
Lin Chuan also knew that he was a gangster, but this guy standing at the door grabbing tickets must have some skills.
At this time, Wu Lei and several bodyguards also came to the door to check the tickets.
When he saw the stature and momentum of Wu Lei and others, the man immediately became weak and did not dare to say a word.
He watched helplessly as the ticket inspector checked the tickets and passed through the gate, but he was powerless.
This is a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
But Lin Chuan called Wu Lei closer and whispered: "Go and see what that guy is doing?"
Wu Lei understood immediately and turned around to make arrangements.
Five minutes before the movie started, Wu Lei came back and whispered in Lin Chuan's ear: "Boss, that guy went to refund the ticket, and he wasn't alone, there were several people with him!"
Lin Chuan just nodded slightly.
It turns out that the gangster made money by taking the collected tickets and refunding them before the movie started.
The non-refundable statement at the ticket gate is of no use to these gangsters.
Not only that, Lin Chuan also discovered that from time to time, staff would bring friends and relatives to watch movies.
No wonder this movie theater is operating at a loss. Damn it if it doesn't make a loss.
At this time, the lights dimmed and the movie officially started.
The light beam in the projection room penetrates the darkness and shines on the big screen.
Qin Mengying also nestled in Lin Chuan's arms.
Less than five minutes into the movie, a woman came up behind Lin Chuan.
